Just a reminder in my opinion

[Phil Buell]

I'm just writing this as a reminder to myself and everyone else out there that beleives! First of all I beleive that a third party at moment and time would have a better chance of happening than it ever did in history. This country is in worse shape than the last time they tried it. And there's more people now to support it and make it happen,you just have to beleive and quit being so controversial. We won't know unless we try, right? You all can think this is so high school thinking but you got any other ideas other than trying to mingle and blend in to gain the upper hand?  Remember what was said in the referundum of zeitgeist, and I'll quote will a little interjecture of my own. 1. Expose the FED cartel so all knowwho and what it's all about. Boycott the big banks like Citibank,JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America. If you have any money in any of these get it out now! Put it in Credit Unions or a smaller bank you feel you can trust. 2. Boycott the news networks. All the news we see is prefiltered by the establishment so we see and hear just what they want us to. Turn off the T.V. news. USE AND PROTECT THE INTERNET AT ALL COSTS BECAUSE IN THE END IT WILL BE OUR SAVIOR!!!! 3. Boycott the Military! Read on before you get all bent out of shape, it is an obsolete institution used by the establishment to maintain itsself and to use it at any descretion they please. Example does anyony really know why we went to war in Iraq? It wasn't for WMD's, it wasn't for the oil(nothing has changed since at the gas pump) and it wasn't because Osama was there(he was hiding out in Pakistan the whole time), it was George Bush's own little power trip! To finish what his Daddy didn't! You all know that the Bush's and the BinLaden's were friends ,that's why little George didn't move/or show interest in Afghanistan or Pakistan at first! I have children and family serving there right now so this is particularly hard for me to write but it's true. I am no less proud of them than I was before!! 4. Stop supporting the energy companies! Get off the grid as soon as you can. Become as self sufficient as humanly possible. Use the sun and wind and get a smaller car that can be converted into using other resources for power,or at least lessen your dependance on fossil fuel. 5.  REJECT THE POLITICAL SYSTEM!!! Democracy is an insult to our intelligence! just like the monetary system. We don't need to pay for things because there is more than enough of everything that NOONE should go without! We need to focus on working to dissolve the outdated political system and let them know that we favor the technological redesign of the world! We also need to focus on how to transcend this system they think works so well. I beleive this can be done. It will take all of us on this planet to work together to make this possible. We can become the Venus project that they all talk and dream about, the whole planet. Just remember nothing comes easy, it'll take alot of work and sacrifice and things will probably get worse before they get better, but do we really have that much more to lose other than our morals and dignity.

Most importantly, we need to spread knowledge. I would rather educate than boycott the bank.. right now I do both, but only the last thing works. Most importantly of all in this transition is knowledge, spreading knowledge, can`t emphasize it enough. I have to recommend this lecture, it is highly fascinating and explains a lot about how and why we are. Some may know him already, Robert Sapolsky on biology and human behavior. Start off with the first lecture and see if you´re able to stop again. I am totally hooked. Now we need the word to spread and the world to be just as hooked on this as I am - and the monetary regime will (finally) be of past.

We really gotta think out of the box here. That`s just a fact.

Oh man, I loved that lecture series. I was able to watch it between christmas and new years at the end of 2010. I was lucky enough to be out o town with nothing better to do. It should be required curriculum for human beings living in this society.

[Nick Polimeni]

I'm not a ney-sayer by any means. 

A third political party within the current political structure will fail because playing their game "because we have to," is almost a passive position. 

An "independent movement," outside the context of the present set of games, YES, has a fair chance of success, and that's why I'm part of this group, and others like it. 

However, we don't have a real plan, not even a place to assemble internationally and examine the problem so as to establish some criteria for priorities, and so on...

In general, we are trying to educate and spread the word... However, education and spreading the word are also more effective if it is either preceded or followed by some level of action.

Why? Because before we can even educate, we have to have someone's attention, and in the right frame of mind. For example, the 99% and the Occupy movements didn't have a specific message, but they all dovetailed with raising awareness. The step where many people know something privately from their knowledge and observation, is somewhat powerful, but what the movement did, was to say to each other, "You know this, and I know this, and everybody knows that, and we all know that each other know it..." That's even more powerful, because you know you can count on others' reality to take some positive action. 

The "transfer your money from the big 10" was and still is a viable project. I started (granting that by the 100 Monkey theory, other started the same thing elsewhere) that shortly after the 2008 catastrophe. Other seemed to have done the same... but as far as we know, the most effective one was the one that was scheduled for Nov 5... So action of some kind can be effective. I this care the banks retreated from their ATM charge scheme.

But it takes a long time to organize and launch any of various possible campaigns. Why wouldn't a boycott work? Because we're not launching one with specific goals, time table, and other elements which would guarantee that if nothing else, it would be a debilitating salvo to those who are running the oppressive system. 

So when we say, "educate, inform, and bring about a change of mind sets, i.e.: change of consciousness " we should consider that such can't be done totally with words. It must be accompanied by well planned, and executed action.

Having said all that, we should be reminded that it all begins with some level of personal action. There's no longer room, nor is the excuse that, "I'm just one person" to remain inactive. At any moment in time each person has some conviction about something, which is powerful enough to impel the person into action of some kind. From this I would say, "Do what you know must be done, and what you know is right." We can no longer avail ourselves of thinking that to do this or that will be a waste of time. Everything one does, even if wrong is positive, because when you realize it's wrong, you can change course. Granted we are not all at the same level of awareness, and often we don't have enough information upon which to base our actions, so we may doubt ourselves. Don't let that deter you... if you are continuously examining your path, you can make adjustments along the way, and if necessary change course when you find a true-er truth. Somewhere along the line, we'll have a stronger meeting of the minds so as to coordinate our efforts better. (In my opinion that moments lies within the next few years: 2012-2016. After that, the job will be ever so much harder, and we might find ourselves regretting not to have done something.)  

Take it away, Maestro!
